Moore a finalist for Honda-Broderick Cup

Former UConn star Maya Moore joins Penn State volleyball star Blair Brown and Villavova distance runner Sheila Reid as finalists for the Honda-Broderick Cup. The winner will be recognized at a ceremony in New York on June 27.

Brown led Penn State to their fourth straight NCAA championship title, tallying a match-high 18 kills in the national title game. A three-time AVCA All-American, she was named Big Ten Player of the Year, as well as the University Park Regional Most Outstanding Player.

Moore has been nominated for the Honda Sports Award for basketball all four years of
her college career and won the honor last year. Notably, because she won the Honda-Broderick Cup last year, she now has a shot at making history as only the second athlete to be named as Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year twice joining swimmer Tracy Caulkins. Moore led UConn to four Final Four appearances, two national titles and a 150-4 record. She is the fourth-leading scorer in NCAA history, with 3,036 points.

Sheila Reid became the first woman to win both the 1,500 and 5,000 in the same year.
